SOMETHING ROTTEN
Another homicide has been
committed among Negroes
here and no one has been held
for the crime. The coroner’s
jury recoipmended that one
man be held, but the county
attorney’s office claimed there
was not enough evidence to
convict and ordered him re
leased. Thera is something
rotten in the state of Denmark
when Negroes who commit
crimes against Negroes can
get off so easily.
RELEASE GARVEY
The Monitor desires to re
peat its request to President
Coolidge that Marcus Garvey
be released from Atlanta peni
tentiary. We are pleased to
see that the press is raising a
united voice for this act of
clemency or justice. Garvey,
more the victim of circum
stances, than of deliberate de
sign, as we have always be
lieved, was sentenced to Atlan
ta prison for a term of five
years for using the mails to de
fraud. He has served nearly
one-half of the allotted time.
Others have been released and
Garvey should be released also.
Release Marcus Garvey!
THINK THIS OVER
Max Rosenbaum has just
opened a lunch stand on the
southwest corner of Twenty
fourth and Charles street. It
is in one of those square arti
ficial stone buildings which
are much used for this kind of
business. Mr. Rosenbaum is
the man who two or three
years ago conducted a restau
rant on Cuming street near
Twenty-third,* where it is al
leged he refused to serve col
ored patrons unless they would
eat in the kitchen. It is also
alleged that for a time he dis
played a sign reading, “Color
ed trade not solicited.” Mr.
Rosenbaum went out of busi
ness on Cuming street. It has
been said “he went broke.”
He has opened his lunch
counter now in a Negro neigh
borhood within the same block
in which are two neat well
kept restaurants owned by Ne
gro proprietors. Of course,
he now expects and desires
“colored patronage.” Do you
think he ought to get it?
FILE BROOMFIELD WILL
The will of John H. Broomfield,
filed in county court Monday, involv
m ing an estate at more than 50 thou
sand dollars, leaves more than half
of his property to his adopted son,
Leroy C. Broomfield of Omaha. Mr.
Broomfield died suddenly of heart
trouble September 7.
To his brothers, George, of St.
Louis, Nathan of Chicago, and
Levi of Omaha; a niece, Mrs. Cor
esia Shockley of Omaha and a
nephew, LeRoy of Chicago, the will
bequeaths five thousand dollars each.
Eddie Robinson and Leon Wallace
of Omaha, friends, are left one thou
sand dollars each- The rest goes to
the adopted son. The will was drawn
December 26, 1925.
Property includes 113 lots in Gary,
Ind., a store building at Twenty
fourth and Erskine streets, the
Broomfield apartments at Lake and
Twenty-fifth street and the residence
at 2124 Lake street. Personal prop
erty including building and loan
stock, mortgages and jewelry is listed
at 10 thousand dollars. Broomfield is
said by his attorneys to have given
away a considerable portion of his
wealth in recent years.
SOME MORE HEALTH RULES
By Algernon B. Jackson, M. D.
(For The Associated Negro Press)
Ever since Moses received the Ten
Commandments on Mount Sinai, the
magic number of ten has been asso
ciated with edicts and laws. The fol
lowing ten health commandments
came out of Georgia, having been
issued by the Athens and Clark
county health department. No color
line seems to have been drawn in
them, so I pass them on to you with
a hearty recommendation.
1. Eat wisely; much raw milk,
green stuffs, fruit and whole grain
bread; little meat and sugar; avoid
alcohol and stimulants.
2. Exercise freely; stand and sit
erect.
3. Use your lungs; breathe fresh
air day and night; stay in the Bun
light a part of every fair day.
4. Be clean; wash your hands be
fore you eat; bathe often; clean your
teeth morning and night.
5. Feel well; don’t get over-tired;
rest is your best friend; a 30-minute
nap in midday is not laziness, but
good sense.
6. Be regular; don’t break your
appointments with yourself for meals,
sleep, and bowel movements.
7. Keep your balance; hurry and
worry serve no man. Play a little
every day.
8. Keep safe; fight shy of the
careless sneezer, and spitter, the
common drinking cup, and the home
with the open well or open toilet.
9. Don’t be too smart; when you
are sick, go to bed and call a doctor;
few who do this promptly die of
pneumonia and flu.
10. Be thrifty; invest in an exam
ination by a doctor and dentist on
your birthday every year. It will
pay dividends.

EMANCIPATION DAY
CELEBRATION
Monday, September 12, St. John’s
A. M. E. church held its annual
Emancipation Day celebration at
Krug Park. A number of automo
biles, among them several beautiful
ly decorated ones, formed in proces
sion at St. John’s church, and pre
I ceded by mounted police in com
mand of Lieutenant Harry Buford
and headed by a band, paraded
through the principal streets to the
park. At the park, various amuse
ments were enjoyed and the princi
pal address of the day “Slave or
Freeman,’’ was delivered by the Rt.
Rev. Archibald James Carey of Chi
cago. The speaker traced the steps
leading up to emancipation and
stressed the responsibility of free
dom and the duties involved in citi
zenship. The Rev. John Adams also
spoke. In the evening a large num
ber enjoyed dancing under the aus
pices of Roosevelt Post. Prizes in
various contests were awarded. The
prize for the most beautifully decor
ated car was awarded to Mrs. Alice
Sherwood. Mrs. Matthews was
crowned queen of the carnival and
was awarded a diamond ring. Mrs.
Willie Ray won first prize in ticket
selling, followed by Mrs. Hallie John
son, who won second prize.
MME. WALKER’S HEIR WEDS
PITTSBURGH ATTORNEY
Pittsburgh, Pa.—Society was as
tounded by the recent announcement
that Mrs. Mae Walker, heiress to the
W’alker millions, had been married
to Marion Perry, one of Pittsburgh’s
most prominent and promising attor
neys. Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson was
the former wife of Dr. Gordon Jack
son. The quiet wedding which joined
the couple has been contrasted with
the famous, and some are bold
enough to declare “ill-fated,” million
dollar wedding held when Miss Walk
er was joined in wedlock with Dr.
Gordon Jackson, a few years ago.
PULLMAN PORTERS
FILE PETITION WITH
COMMERCE COMMISSION
The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters on the 7th day of September,
1927, filed a petition with the Inter
state Commerce commission request
ing an investigation of the rates of
the Pullman company. It is the con
tention of the brotherhood that the
company be required to pay the prop
er wages to the Pullman porters and
relieve them of the present undem
ocratic and unsystematic requirement
of performing the management’s
duty of collecting part of their wages.
The company admits that porters’
solicited tips or collected wages from
122,4.77,061 sleeping car passengers to
the tune of twenty-five cents each
'and ten cents from 13,155,052 seat
j passengers the sum ,of $7,000,000
1 annually.
The porters’ petition alleges that
the tips are uncertain and indefin
! ite and that there is an additional
charge on the tickets that the pas
! senger pays for his accommodations
! and constitutes a violation of the In
terstate Commerce Act, since it fos
j ters the practice of discrimination
as the old rebate system.
A group of prominent citizens
throughout the country will join in
the petition, according to the general
roganizer.
